Mi Ja’s greed extends further when she meets Ma Ri, knowing her as Do Jun’s girlfriend and to be from a wealthy family. Mi Ja plays the victim and requests a large sum of money. Naive Ma Ri sends the money immediately. Overjoyed, Mi Ja spends it all on gambling. Worried, Jin Taek begins to investigate where the money went.

Jin Taek summons Do Jun to explain why Ma Ri’s money was sent to his mother, Mi Ja. Do Jun, who is clueless, is not believed by Jin Taek and is subsequently fired. Humiliated in front of Ma Ri and her family, Do Jun apologizes deeply and rushes home to confront Mi Ja.

Ji Young refuses, and Mi Ja’s behavior escalates as she demands a million dollars. Ji Young kicks Mi Ja out, who then threatens to expose Ji Young’s true identity as Do Ra if her demands are not met. Jin Dan, who has been stalking Ji Young eavesdrops, becomes even more enraged.
Despite the turmoil, Pil Seung and Ji Young’s relationship grows stronger, and their marriage proceeds. Jin Dan, however, remains confused and furious that Pil Seung and Mi Ja were aware of Ji Young’s true identity all along. He plots to make them suffer as he has.
